What to Know

  • Officers arrived at the scene near NW 7th Avenue and Miami Gardens Drive before 8 a.m. after reports of a three car crash there.

Two people were taken to an area hospital after mutliple crashes Tuesday morning in Miami Gardens.

Officers arrived at the scene near NW 7th Avenue and Miami Gardens Drive before 8 a.m. after reports of a three car crash there.

Nearby witnesses told NBC 6 that there was a crash between two cars at the scene before a third vehicle that had two teens inside got involved, though police did not confirm that information.

Witnesses say the impact of the crash, in which a black Acura hit a light pole, was so hard it knocked the pole off the sidewalk.

"I saw a metal pole going down," said Lesa Brown, who shot video of the moments before police arrived.

Brown said she saw two people being extricated by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews.

Miami Gardens Police said two people were transferred to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but would not say which vehicle they were in.
